...Self-Reflection - Leadership Development Many varied management and leadership philosophies exist and no single style or approach can be considered to be the ‘correct’ one. Regardless of management and leadership philosophies, self-reflection has played, and will continue to play, a significant role in the shaping of a managers leadership philosophy. Depending on the level of consciousness that a manager has in regards to self-reflection, along with how they communication their management and leadership philosophies, will affect their performance as a manager. Like all managers, my management and leadership philosophies have developed through experiences and the meaning assigned with these. The philosophies that I have previously employed have not always allowed me to adequately address a situation; however, by being reflective the experiences have expanded my knowledge base, resulting in refined management and leadership philosophies. Self-reflecting and communicating management and leadership philosophies is essential for managers in realising their personal potential due to the need to actively learn and interpret experiences for future use. Life experiences shape how individuals manage and lead due to the self-perceptions developed through these experiences. The traits, values and competencies associated with different experiences “dictate how people interpret their environment and what motivates them to act” (Brent and Matheny, 2000, p. 3). This important concept...

...done through other people in order to achieve organisational goals. The managers may react to specific situations and more concerned with short term problem solving. Management is regarded as related to people working in a structured organisation and with prescribed roles. Belbin (1997, p 98) suggests that, “there is a clear implication that leadership is not part of the job but quality that can be brought to a job … The work that leadership encompasses in the context clearly is not assigned but comes about spontaneously”. Leaders can be managers but not all managers can be effective leaders, making leadership an important aspect of effective management (Tappen, Weiss and Whitehead, 2004). Personal Development as a Manager and Leader Career development is an organized approach used to match employee goals with the business needs of the agency in support of workforce development initiatives. The purpose of career development is to enhance each employee's current job performance, enable individuals to take advantage of future job opportunities and fulfill agencies' goals for a dynamic and effective workforce. Personal development is the process which includes personality, relationship, communication, self-awareness and way of thinking among time must be improved as compare to previous. Personal development is very important and helpful to achieve the desired goals and objectives. Personal development is our conscious self-improvement and self-transcendence. It is the aspiration...

...1.) The main difference between the research which underlies the Competing Values Framework (CVF) and the 4+2 Formula is in its development duration as well as its time appearance. The CVF is based on four developed management-models and shows an evolution of different management styles over 75 years (from 1900 to 1975) - each quadrant therefore can be related to a certain period of time. The CVF shows that earlier business models still have an impact on nowadays business environments since they are part of the equal combination model. In contrast to the historical development of the models which form the basics of the CVF, the 4+2 Formula is based on ‘just’ a 10 year performance period (from 1986 until 1996) and was implemented in modern days after the CVF. It is based on 200 different management practices which could be observed across 160 companies in the same period of time and which have been effective in regard to the achievement of successful business results. It therefore shows no development over such a long period of time like the CVF rather than already present aspects of management attributes, which led the company to a good performance. If the management practices of the CVF quadrants were already realised in the time of the survey of the 4+2 Formula, we could say that the 4+2 Formula is a development of the CVF since managers at different companies could have already taken the aspects of the CVF into consideration. Because of this, similarities between...

...HOW WILL MANAGER AND LEADERS NEED TO ADAPT TO THRIVE FOUR YEARS FROM NOW? NAME COURSE TUTOR DATE Leadership can be described as a character that is individualistic or with a difference, but rather it is depicted by many as shared, global, strategic, complex, dyadic, and rational. Businesses, non-profits, educational organizations and government agencies need the type of leaders who can navigate some complex and changing situations in the future effectively. Some of the questions that most of the leaders in business need to ask themselves are what they need to do, and they should access whether they are equipped to do the tasks that await them. For any leader in an organization to develop and build strength in leadership for the future, they will first need to know all the elements in leadership that will be valued and needed in the organization that they work. The other aspects that should be under consideration are the roles that the organization is likely going to consider as critical. The point may be obvious, but it is an aspect that future leaders need to understand because most companies spend a lot of time and money when trying to define the needed competencies. Before determining the extent to which some of the today’s leaders are equipped when we consider some of the challenges that they are likely to face in the future, there is the need to gauge some of the current leadership strength. Some of the trends include strategic planning, employee development, resourcefulness...

...authorities on leadership development understand the importance of assisting managers and leaders to engage in self-discovery and self-reflection. Recorded statements from philosophers about the need for self-awareness and reflection for those in leadership positions goes back thousands of years to ancient philosophers and teaches like Confucius, Socrates, Plato, Jesus and Mohammed. However, research has shown that self-reflection is possibly a manager’s least favourite activity. While much has been written on the need for self-reflection and for selfunderstanding by managers, little is available that points the way forward for managers on how to commence self-reflection, what are the processes involved and how one commences on the road to self discovery. In this short article, I will endeavour to assist you to commence learning about yourself. There are two good reasons why managers and leaders should be concerned about learning about themselves. First, while some people, because of personality flaws, like narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychological personality disorders should never be allowed to lead others, most people can improve their leadership potential and performance by engaging in self-reflection. Second, research has shown there is no better bedrock for effective leadership than a secure understanding and sense of oneself. Self-understanding also provides a sound basis for understanding other people – how could a leader be conscious of another’s...

...The development of leadership is a continuous process as an individual gains experiences, assumes greater levels of responsibility, and faces a growing complexity of organizational problem solving demands. The 360 degree feedback assists in this development through two fundamental objectives. The first objective is on an individual level. For the individual, the process provides leaders with unique data perspectives of their abilities as viewed by their peers, subordinates, those in supervisory roles, and self-examination. The best use of these data for individuals is to design a personal development plan to address areas of concern surfaced through the assessment. The second objective is to improve overall organizational performance. As an organization’s leaders develop their abilities to work, manage, and lead, the performance and attitudes of corresponding workgroups will improve. Therefore, the entire organization stands to benefit as individuals improve. To assist you in this process, your personalized 360 Feedback Report contains the following elements: This Introduction to the 360 Explanation of 360 Leadership Roles Interpretation of the 360 Data Your Overall 360 Profile Role Comparison Scores and Item Score Breakdown Open Ended Question Listing Appendix A - All Scores Summary Appendix B - Personal Development Planning 360 Leadership Roles Communicator Leader Manager Facilitator Professional The data are grouped into five roles (Communicator, Leader, Manager, Facilitator...

...and the superego- work together to describe the behavior of the manager. The Id which is inborn and biological in nature knows what is neither right nor wrong but is only concerned with whether an experience is painful or pleasant. The id is driven by the pleasure principle, which strives for immediate gratification of all desires, wants, and needs. If these needs are not satisfied immediately, the result is a state anxiety or tension. In the case of the manager, an increase in the want for alcohol or cigarette would produce an immediate attempt to drink or smoke. However, immediately satisfying this need is not always realistic. The manager, probably ruled entirely by the pleasure principle, might also find himself trying so hard to satisfy his cravings of alcohol and cigarette. This sort of behavior tends to be disruptive and morally unacceptable. Freud organized his personality theory around the psychosexual stages of development- oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital. He states that a person’s experience at each stage leave some characteristic impressions and imprints that influence his future personality development. The focus on a person's libidinal energy in any form of over-indulgence or deprivation may remain fixed at an earlier stage of development in what Freud referred to as fixation. Thus, it could be concluded that the manager who drinks and smokes excessively was during his psychosexual development, fixed/fixated- by deprivation or over indulgence, on the oral...

...Results and Findings 1. Understand the organisational requirements for a Leader 1.1 Identify organisational requirements for respecting the cultures, values, and ethics of others Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is committed to being an organisation where diversity is valued and appreciated, regardless of race, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, faith or religion, civil partnership or marriage, pregnancy or maternity. The Trust recognises that everyone is different, valuing the unique contribution that individual experience brings. Knowledge and skills can make a difference when delivering service goals.

The Trust’s priority is to continue to develop and change its organisational culture by showing true commitment in providing appropriate training and information for all staff, in order to raise awareness of equality and diversity. The Trust therefore expects its staff, patients and visitors to act in accordance with the principles that are embedded within the organisation values. The Trust has developed a number of other policies in support of a culture free from unfair bias, discrimination and harassment. 1.2 Describe the levels of authority and responsibility of a leader in the organisation First-line managers operate their departments.

...Management is as diverse as one’s fingerprint and no two managers in the same situation will necessarily have the same approach, thought processes, or outcomes. There are many managers in the business world. Some examples are: finance managers who are geared toward the financial success of the company, purchasing managers, who deal with product management and there are human resource managers, who deal with policy, procedures and employee relations. Each of these managers has a specific job function in the company. Management roles vary within a company and can also vary based upon departmental functions. This paper will discuss the three basic components in managerial roles, interpersonal and individual performance, develop employees, and plan and allocate resources. These roles will help the manager to identify the stage competency of the employee and how much the employee is ready to maintain and grow in his / her career development. Interpersonal managers provide direction and supervision for the employee and the company as a whole. The interpersonal manager’s character typically includes leadership function as a figurehead, motivator and directional authority. Most of the successful interpersonal managers have acquired their skill sets through experience and engaging with employees, peers, and superiors over time. Senior management lecturers Deepa Sethi and Manisha Seth reference Peter Hartley’s definition of interpersonal skill, “Hartley (1999, p. 20) defines interpersonal...

...work will be to describe, analyse and evaluate what role the staff nurse holds in the effective management of the care of the bereaved person. Throughout the author will relate this to the bereavement of a family following the death of a loved one in a care of the elderly setting. In relation to this assignment and because the focus of this assignment is on the staff nurse effectively managing the care of the bereaved person the author will focus on the issue of the importance of good leadership in supporting staff in what could be an emotionally challenging environment. In relation to supporting the staff nurse being able to provide effective care for the patient the author will also be considering the areas of teambuilding and staff development, training and support. It should be remembered that bereavement may occur not just after a death but after any form of loss. Loss is a normal part of everyday life, life involves change and changes often involve an element of loss, (Read, 2002). What is bereavement? Shakespeare once wrote “all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity”. Death is one of the largest causes of bereavement, although not exclusively. Bereavement is the term used for the emotions and behaviours felt and displayed by a person who has suffered some form of loss, particularly the death of a person close to them or known to them, (Egan, 2003). Coping with bereavement Coping with the emotions and behaviours of a family who have...
